I'm
thinking Cx. quinquefasciatus but the spots on the femur and tibia are all wrong. So we should just wait for Sean to check it out

Most definitely a good

Most mosquito larvae don't have the perfect availability of nutrients, but every once in a while you will find a pretty well fed colony producing relatively massive mosquitoes
